MetallicAcid's TJ07 (working title)

[XzzDSA]

I am a total noob when it comes to sketch up and such, and i simply cant find the models i need for my own projects. like the sabertooth for example. So i only need that one model if possible (i might just suck at googling for all i know)

You're not the only one bad at google Although I can't use many of MA's models here  

Dreamcase : TJ11, but soooo expensive

I am not at home so I cannot share the Sabertooth file with you, but here is the link to the Google warehouse version that I have used: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=b9414994e49a9e578985b01b15ab1d69

I can say that alot my the models that I have used are just "adapted/modified" versions of ones found on the SketchUp Warehouse. For example, I took the 480mm radiator and chopped it down to be a 240-360mm.

Hey guys!!

 

I just wanted to say that I have created a Facebook fan page called MetallicAcid Customs, as well as joined instagram with the #metallicacidcustoms hashtag. I will be posting progress on current my projects, other projects which inspire me, in depth WIP shots, and links to "How-To" guides so you can achieve similar or better results that I achieve working on my kitchen table

 

Hopefully see you there!

 

Best regards,

Justin Ohlsen / MetallicAcid

Hey everybody!

 

I have shamelessly entered my TJ08 ROG V rig into another competition at Minimalistic PC's, and hope for your support After you have checked out all the great PC's there, and still think that my work is worthy of your vote, then you will know what to do

 

Either way, thank you for your support, and see you at the next project!

Hello Fellow modders! 

 

THREAD REVIVAL!!

 

A friend of mine has fallen in love with the design and concept of my TJ07 build, and is willing to pay for all parts and work to make this project become a reality. It will be a themed build with a white case and interior, and red highlights, just like the EA Games upcoming title, "Mirrors Edge 2". Work is to commence within the next few weeks, so keep your eye on this space or future updates!

WAIT WHOAH HOLD THE F**K UP

 

What does this mean? Is he gonna buy a copy of the TJ07 build?

[CJPowell27]

That's a cool friend

[MetallicAcid]

Well my friend will be getting the PC, with all parts and design. I will not own it, and never will. It's only going to be a prototype one off. I might start making some extra pieces and sell them, such as the angled motherboard plate etc.

 

BTW I have posted up a couple of rough renders on my Facebook page as I compose a post for the forums. Swing by and have a look

Your friend is very lucky

what a dude to be paying for it all... i saw the renders and i cannot wait to see progress!!!!!!!11111oneoneoneoneone

That dude will get the system tho, it's just being build by Justin! But yes, it's awesome he wants it and we can get to see this one. 

[MetallicAcid]

That's right @Kiwiandapple. Demis will get the computer in the end, not I. What I gain out of this is the satisfaction that I get to see the project through, and have another personal mod under my belt. Once the build is completed, and all measurements are made, then I will try my hand at making a few examples of those parts, and sell them to people who wish to make a similar system. I have some renders coming up to post here in the forum, but in the meanwhile those renders are posted on my Facebook page if you guys are after a sneakpeak

Update time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello everybody! I know this has been a long time coming

 

It is with great excitement that I announce that the project has now officially been started! I am building this project for Demis, a friend of mine. He had fallen in love with the project, and the ideas which I had visualized with the aid of SketchUp and Skindigo - 3D modelling and rendering software.

 

There had been discussions between Demis and I regarding the colour and overall theme of this build, and in the end we both thought that a blacked out stealth build, with subtle gold highlights, with an overall monolithic feel with a simple exterior and neat interior was the best option for this project.

The colour scheme comes from the X79 ASUS motherboard. I would like to now show you a visual representation of how this project will probably look like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This project may take some time to complete. This is a good thing in my opinion as it means that I can plan every detail to perfection, and execute those plans into reality with ease and minimal stress.

 

This will be a watercooled project, but in stages. Stage 1 for the watercooling will include just the CPU, with the GPU being air cooled. Stage 2 of the watercooling will include a 2nd GPU with both being watercooled. So you can expect a Rev.1 and Rev.2 of this project over the coming months.

 

So, I would like to kickstart this thread with a list of products that Demis has ordered, and are on it's way to me:

 

 

 

 

And even though the GPU's have not been bought yet, I do have some shrouds to customise in the down time:

 

 

 

 

Here comes a list of things that I plan to do with this mod:

 

Fabricate

 

Custom made midplate

 

Custom made reservoir wall

 

Custom made radiator holders

 

Acrylic window for top of case

 

Acrylic windows for side panels

 

Modify

 

Extend window for top of case

 

Window opening on side panels

 

Pass-through holes in midplate for hard tubing

 

New power button

 

Paint

 

TJ07 case

 

Custom made midplate

 

Custom made reservoir wall

 

Custom made radiator holders

 

GPU shrouds

 

Prepare for painting

 

TJ07 case

 

Custom made midplate

 

Custom made reservoir wall

 

Custom made radiator holders

 

Install

 

Cold Zero parts

 

Water cooling parts

 

PC components

 

LED lighting

 

 

 

 

More things may be added to the list later on

 

I hope you have enjoyed the news. We are both super excited about this project, and want to see it to perfection. I hope you stick around for future updates!

 

With best regards,

Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Well, most of them were not super positive.. more like YES OMG FINALLY WE WILL GET TO SEE THIS.

 

Anyway, to make it even more positive, I am so happy to see this build come alive. But I have some questions! 

The watercooling for the GPUs? Didn't you had a problem with the tubing like this? I am very bad when it comes to watercooling and to lazy to google how it works with 2 gpu's like that. But, this will work? Please yes. 

That pricelist... yes, those backplates. Are it the ones from EK? If so, will those fit with just an air cooler? Or do you need to have an EK waterblock on it to fit that backplate on a 780. And I assume it are reference designs PCB backplates? 

And.. my last question is.. when will the first picture come? *puppyeyes*  :wub:

Can you say me please what program you are using to build this case models?

Hehe! I am just the same to finally have someone wanting to invest their money into my services and the parts that they want! 

 

So, to answer your questions:

1. There were no problems with cooling the GPU's but rather I did not have enough rad space that I wanted, nor enough money to buy a water block for the GPU. Watercooling these GPUs at a later point will not be a problem

2. The Backplate is from coldzero.eu and the specifications given to the owner of the site were for a GPU with a reference cooler, not watercooled block.

3. I will start painting the GPU cooler as early as next week, and also test fit some of the coldzero parts, so photos should arrive next week some time!

 

Hopefully you stick around

 

Can you say me please what program you are using to build this case models?

Yes sure thing! I am using just regular SketchUp Make 2013 and Skindigo Render

 

Best regards, 

Justin.

So, when will we see pics of this build. So anxious to see it! I listen to TNT by AC/DC and it follows the style of this build: powerful, beast, and mind-exploding.
